My Husband Masturbates Every Night

My husband masturbates almost every night before bed. Is he oversexed?

Many men masturbate regularly. It's not necessarily a symptom of a terrible problem in your relationship, but you should talk to him about it. Have you stopped having sex as often as a couple? Do you have a lower libido than he does? Masturbating may be your partner's way of dealing with a mismatch in desire so he's not always approaching you--and getting rejected--for sex. Is he compelled to do it, or does he just want to do it? As long as there's no deeper emotion behind it, like he's angry because he feels you're withholding sex, then it's probably nothing to be concerned about. Discuss the issues that are bothering you in a nonjudgmental fashion share your concern and open the forum for a discussion. --Lauren Gelman
